Most certainly it affected the games in which I was playing. We lost one game to Japan which I don’t think we should have.

They played a very good game against us in round robin but we were able to take a couple of big ends and that made the difference in that game.

It means a lot. Already now we have had over one million people watching curling (in Finland), which is pretty good from five million, so in a final, it will be great.

We began to believe that it was going to be our day after that.

They made a perfect takeout. You need some luck also to make that sort of shot and they had it.
